It will be painted very close to the org color. I'm not a fan of mirror finishes. Thanks though.

I'll have a before and after pics.
All of the paint was scratched, the decals were lifting and just generally not in good condition. I rode it but it's good that it was a flat street ride. Every nut, bolt, bearing etc will be cleaned, and replaced if necessary.
I have nothing to do, I'm semi retired with a lot of time on my hands. I make custom made pens but with more than 700 in stock I think I have enough for this summer season. Though there are some wooden ones I need to replenish.

RST 171 forks.
Yeah they are low end, don't care. It is what I have . But I cannot get the springs/ lower pistons? out. Pic one shows the plastic sleeve holding everything in. Pic 2 is the furthest I can pull the spring up, with the shock tube screwed onto it, then unscrewed.
The reason here is that when I took the bottom screw out water poured out. I'd like to service the inner workings but the upper plastic sleeve is stopping disassembly. Even with a sharp jerk on the attached tube/spring/ "piston" that uppersleeve does not move,
I don't want to pour solvent down there as I don't know what the lower components consist of.
The top of the spring extends too far to get any type of puller in there below the sleeve and there are no detents that make it seem like it is screwed in.
Any ideas?
